Wow, that is very unique!! Never seen one like that before. How long have you had it?

Thanks for sharing it with us!

I got this mower in the spring of last year. It is a real heavy duty mower. I am guessing that it is from the early 70's. I have never seen another ROOF push mower except for this one.

**** The Tecumseh engine is a V50-60198H not V50-69198H****

Neat! Never saw one of them before. Interesting how shallow most of the deck is.

They used to be made in Pontiac, IL. Still some NOS parts available down that way if a person is able to do some rummaging around.

I was noticing that too, interesting design.

Cool stuff Brad! Somebody should snatch them up before they get thrown out.

Seems to me that either an agricultural company or trucking company bought them. I called there a few years back for a member looking for something. I could do some sniffing if anyone wanted any parts.


Edit--my daughter-in-law is from there and is visiting this weekend. I dropped her an email to see if her dad remembers anything about where the NOS stuff went.
